Ramsrt Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 (edited) Sorry guys this is way off topic, hopefully ill be able to join your club soon, but i have a couple quick questions, i have a biocube 14 gallon im looking at the ai nano sol blue, my wife is awesome and gona get it for my birthday. I want to pull out the stock pc lights and mount the ai nano into my canopy to keep the stock look of the biocube. 1 is it possible to mount these into the canopy 2 by doing this would the system be to close to the waterline and greatly decrease the light spread 3 or is this just a bad idea having this kind of system that close to the water line and corals, also id be keeping the splash gaurd in place just swapping out the pc's for the leds thanks for all your help and all yours guys tanks look awesome.

I have to recommend against this. It is very constricting to airflow, and too close to the water. Try a mount like this: http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...t&p=3412882 Quote Link to comment
Ramsrt Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 How high should they be mounted and is the ai sol nano big enough for the biocube 14 Quote Link to comment
SouthFlorida_Tron Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 How high should they be mounted and is the ai sol nano big enough for the biocube 14 Ai nano would be great for a bc14, 8-12" is the general mounting suggestion per AI Quote Link to comment
pschom Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 How high should they be mounted and is the ai sol nano big enough for the biocube 14 Ive seen the AI Nano on the 29 biocube. I have the SOL and honestly at the height and intensity it is I feel like my 29 is too small for it. So yeah I'd recommend the nano on the bc14. That said, I agree that it shouldn't go inside that plastic housing. Have you measured it? I wonder if there is a person who has had a biocube for over 12 months and hasn't change it's appearance. If I only knew then what I know now. Anyway, there are modern looking mounting options out there. But that begs the question: if AI recommends 8-12" above the surface then why do the mounting arms have the unit right above the water? Quote Link to comment

I have an AI Nano on my BC29 and it is great even with the stock mounting arm that is included with it. Perfect spread and plenty of punch. Acclimating everything now at only W25/B30/RY30 for 1hr peak. Here's the way I did the mount on the BC29 HQI http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...=286113&hl= I'm sure mounting it on the BC14 would be similar. You'd have to go topless, but BC14 is one of the better looking tanks topless IMO. If you use the AI Arm or mount it at a similar height, I think you will be very pleased with the Nano over your BC14. I agree that mounting it is the hood would not be ideal. Quote Link to comment
